I pick up the newspaper and everyday there’s a new horrible story about him that’s somehow become trite since all this oaf does is disparage other, loaf about, and take what he can from others to engorge himself. He’s ruining this country in every way, shape, and form but somehow he has millions of cult followers. He’s above any punishment yet forces us to suffer his existence like some sort of sick, kafkaesque joke. This absolute piece of shit has no redeeming qualities and yet we let him keep breathing air. It’s impossible to scroll online without seeing his gross orange face pop up on screen. I swear if I hear him say “I hate Mondays” or “I love lasagna” one more time I am going to lose it. Save us from this Garfieldian agony.

    The thing is, dark money and Russian disinformation have installed a political machine in place that Trump is just the face of. As the face of this he has disturbed institutions of government and American life, as well as globally, which I think will take years to repair. It’s a global far right power grab, so even if he does die, there’s still a lot to fix.

    However it’s his peculiar charisma that for whatever reason these people respond to in ways that they don’t to traditional dyed in the wool Republicans like Romney or McCain that is why they’ve been so successful, and when he dies finding a replacement for him will be difficult for them. The journalist Maggie Haberman says the way he will go into a room of these people and charm everyone in there is genius, really, even though his terrible personality is what his campaign was based on, really. He makes them laugh, my Canadian coworker who isn’t in any way a MAGA still likes him because he makes her laugh, which makes no sense because he’s not funny, but it’s the shock of him openly being what all of them really are underneath, racist and hateful and bigoted, that seems funny, I think anyway. His weird appeal probably can’t be replicated by anyone else.

    So in my opinion him dying will have a major impact on the success of this political monstrous machine they’ve created, without question, but they’ve wrecked a lot of things along the way that will take a lot to restore, and my guess is that the Democrats will just let some things stay as they are.

    Here’s a little something else to think of. The government is shut down, so the purse strings are closed. And yet, a private “donation” is being given to the military. By a man who apparently has a problem with Venezuela. At the same time the world’s most powerful warship, along with its associated battle group, has been pulled out of Europe to go play drug cop in the Caribbean Sea.

    Joking aside, I do always celebrate when Republicans die. I’m basically exactly the type of person they pretend is the average leftist, even though 90% (or more) of folks are normal and don’t wish death on their enemies.

    This motherfucker got to be in movies and TV too, as if ruining the internet isn’t enough. Every childhood memory I have is tainted by his selfish orange ass.

    trump is the key for Russia influence in the USA, at least the current figurehead. without him, maga would pretty much collapse overnight and the gop would be in disarray.

    Its so nice to be able to say you hope the fascist dies.

    We now live in such a world where you can’t wish for evil dictators to die lest the billionaire who owns the platforms you use has his sensibilities upset.
